It features a powerful 1200W motor, a maximum flow rate of 6000 L/h, a maximum discharge height of 40 meters, and an immersion depth of up to 12 meters. Integrated safety features include a float switch, dry-run protection, and a thermoregulator to ensure reliable performance and longevity.
2. Safety Instructions
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in electric shock, fire, serious injury, or death.
- Always disconnect the pump from the power supply before performing any maintenance, cleaning, or when not in use.
- Ensure the power supply voltage matches the specifications on the pump's rating label.
- Do not operate the pump with a damaged power cord or plug. If damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, service agent, or similarly qualified persons to avoid a hazard.
- Never lift or carry the pump by its power cord. Use the designated handle or a sturdy rope attached to the pump's lifting eye.
- Keep children and unauthorized persons away from the operating area.
- The pump is designed for pumping clean water. Do not use it for flammable, corrosive, or explosive liquids.
- Ensure the pump is fully submerged during operation to prevent dry running, which can cause damage. The integrated dry-run detector provides additional protection.
- Do not operate the pump in swimming pools or areas where people are in the water.
- Protect the pump from frost. Drain all water from the pump and hoses if there is a risk of freezing temperatures.
- The built-in thermoregulator protects the motor from overheating. If the pump shuts off automatically, allow it to cool down before restarting.

5. Setup and Installation
5.1 Connecting the Discharge Hose
The pump is compatible with various hose diameters. Ensure a secure connection to prevent leaks and maintain optimal flow.
Image 5.1: This image illustrates the pump's compatibility with different hose diameters, specifically 31mm and 25mm, and shows the necessary adapters for connection.
- Select a discharge hose of appropriate diameter (e.g., 25mm or 31mm) for your application.
- Attach the hose connector to the pump's discharge outlet.
- Secure the hose to the connector using a hose clamp (not included) to ensure a watertight seal.
- Position the discharge end of the hose to direct water to the desired location.
5.2 Positioning the Pump
- Lower the pump into the water source using a sturdy rope attached to the pump's lifting eye. Do not use the power cable.
- Ensure the pump is placed on a stable, level surface at the bottom of the water source, or suspended so it does not rest directly on sediment.
- The pump must be fully submerged during operation. The maximum immersion depth is 12 meters.
- Ensure the float switch has sufficient space to move freely and activate/deactivate the pump based on water levels.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Power Connection
Once the pump is correctly positioned and the discharge hose is connected, plug the pump into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is protected by a Residual Current Device (RCD) for safety.
6.2 Automatic Operation (Float Switch)
The pump is equipped with a float switch for automatic operation. When the water level rises, the float switch will lift, turning the pump on. As the water level drops, the float switch will lower, turning the pump off. Adjust the float switch cable length to set the desired on/off water levels.
Image 6.1: This graphic depicts the two operating modes: 'Smart Sensor' (automatic via float switch) and 'Manual Operation', showing the float switch mechanism.
6.3 Manual Operation
For continuous pumping, the float switch can be secured in an upward position. This will keep the pump running regardless of the water level. Caution: When operating in manual mode, closely monitor the water level to prevent dry running, which can damage the pump. The dry-run detector will provide protection, but manual oversight is recommended.
6.4 Dry-Run Protection and Thermoregulator
The pump features a dry-run detector that automatically shuts off the pump if the water level becomes too low, preventing damage. Additionally, a built-in thermoregulator protects the motor from overheating. If the pump stops unexpectedly, allow it to cool down for approximately 15-20 minutes before attempting to restart it.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Wiltec submersible pump.
7.1 Cleaning
- Before cleaning, always disconnect the pump from the power supply.
- Rinse the pump with clean water after each use, especially if pumping dirty water, to prevent sediment buildup.
- Inspect the intake screen for blockages. Remove any debris carefully.
- Check the float switch for free movement and clean any obstructions.
7.2 Storage
- If the pump will not be used for an extended period, or during freezing temperatures, drain all water from the pump and hoses.
- Store the pump in a dry, frost-free location.
- Coil the power cable neatly to prevent damage.
8. Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions to common problems you might encounter with your submersible pump.
